So my START Launcher stopped working.
I guess it stems from my wish to Synch a few of my Google Drive folders, when they replaced the synching logic a few years back.
So, instead I did this:
1. Located the newest PortableAppsPlatform.exe in these folders (there may be more than one)
2. Created a CMD file (BAT file can work too) with this:
REM Starting Portable Apps without Launcher no longer working
START "" "G:\.shortcut-targets-by-id\0B28Ibr36aV3XS2V1cFhBLXRscVk\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\PortableAppsPlatform.exe"
3.Saved it with name: PortableApps Launch.cmd
4. Tested it, and it worked
